What are my babies doing??!!!

I'm a new chickie mamma. I JUST finished cleaning the brooder and filling it with fresh pine shavings. I put my three week chicks in and they started rolling around in the shavings......what are they doing?!

They are taking dust baths Or trying to, anyway!

So should I get some sand? They are only three weeks old- is that too early?

I wish I could post a video! It's hilarious!!

Give them a double treat, and give them a clump of sod. flip it over and put it in a pie plate. Just be sure it's not been treated with herbicides or insecticides.
